I solve problems by expertly connecting Business Strategy, Technical Expertise, and User Experience Design. Within the product and design industry, these areas of focus are generally at odds with each other, but I seamlessly stitch them together.
My mission as a UX and Product Leader is to use strategic processes and innovative thinking to drive disruptive change. In my over 25 years of service in the digital industry, I have worked on a number of fascinating projects and with dozens of highly influential brands, giving me a truly unique perspective that I bring to any organization.
More recently, I started serving on the Board of Directors for the KC area Chapter of the User Experience Professionals Association, where I promote the interests of marginalized communities, while championing mentorship and apprenticeship opportunities. I also actively volunteer my time as a UX and Product mentor on ADPList.org.
Our industry has become obsessed with swimlanes, and making sure only the right people work on specific areas of a product. Fortunately, I have been around long enough, and have taken advantage of roles to expand my skills and drift comfortably out of "my lane".
This not only allows me to understand all sides of the conversation (w/o Googling), but I can deliver results from multiple areas within an organization. I pride myself on "moving tables", and yes, I am passionate and bold enough to call myself a Unicorn.
